Where to start?

Prospecting locations for Sasquatch encounters is similar to prospecting for gold. If you ask an oldtimer he'll tell you, Gold is where you find it. Another is, Look where other's have found gold before you. Both are good advice for a beginning prospector. What most first timers need help with is where to start and what to look for.

For instance, if you wanted to find Placer Gold you will need to know what the associated minerals look like and where Gold has been retrieved out of creeks and rivers before. The same for the Sasquatch.

Looking for a Sasquatch, can be no harder than visiting your favorite campground or hiking trail, anywhere outside is more favorable than staring at your laptop. So let's get started.

If I was new to this activity, I would check the bfro.net site to find any activity in my area of the country, whether the information was posted in the 1940's or yesterday probably wont carry much weight, either way. If there was an encounter in the 40's it's likely this will be still an active area today.

How do I know? Let's say I've witnessed it more than once. On the BFRO site pay close attention to class B as you would to class A encounters, sometimes more information can be drawn out of a class B than a class A sighting, which might just consist of "It walked right across the road just in front of my car.

Class B's are usually a known position, perhaps a campsite or hiking trail and this can put you on the search much faster. A road crossing doesn't mean the Sasquatch lives nearby, but it is possible. A weekend encounter at a campsite isn't the be all end all, either but it's just an easier place to start. Also my belief is, it's a more likely place to get rewarded.
